Trayer, a Siemens business, is seeking an experienced Planning & Order Management Professional to support integrated production planning and order execution across its Livermore and San Leandro operations. Reporting to the Order Management & Planning Manager, this role helps ensure customer orders move through the factory with clear visibility, disciplined follow-up, and strong cross-functional coordination. We are looking for someone who is organized, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where priorities can shift and strong follow-through is essential.

The position plays an important role in aligning customer demand, material readiness, engineering inputs, and production schedules to support reliable delivery performance. This individual will work across functions to track milestones, identify risks early, maintain planning accuracy, and help drive timely resolution of execution issues. This role connects customer demand with factory execution by maintaining planning accuracy, identifying risks early, supporting timely issue resolution, and helping improve delivery performance across both sites.

This hybrid Planning & Order Management Professional role will be based in either San Leandro or Livermore, CA. Local candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. The East Bay offers an excellent quality of life with top-rated schools, a pleasant climate, and easy access to both mountains and the coast. Plus, your compensation goes further here with a more attainable cost of living compared to other parts of the San Francisco Bay Area.

You’ll make a difference by:

• Support production planning and scheduling activities to help maintain realistic and executable factory plans. Help align priorities, schedules, and order sequencing based on customer requirements, material readiness, factory constraints, and engineering inputs.
• Contribute to improved planning discipline, execution visibility, and cross-functional coordination with both sites.
• Coordinate order changes, planning updates, and execution status communication across the relevant parties. Coordinate order execution activities from order release through production, shipment readiness, and delivery preparation.
• Maintain accurate planning files, dashboards, trackers, and system data to support schedule visibility and execution control. Maintain clear visibility of order status, key milestones, open issues, and execution risks to support reliable delivery performance.
• Partner across Production, Engineering, Materials, Logistics, Quality, Sales, and Customer Service to remove barriers, resolve issues, and keep orders progressing on schedule.
• Track readiness factors affecting execution, including engineering release, material availability, technical preparation, inspection readiness, and other production dependencies.
• Support delivery date maintenance and execution commitments based on actual order readiness and current factory conditions. Call out delivery risks, readiness gaps, and unresolved issues in a timely and structured manner.
• Support recovery efforts for urgent, late, or high-risk orders as business needs require.

You’ll win us over by having the following qualifications:

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Five (5) or more years of experience in production planning, order management, operations coordination, supply chain execution, production control, or a similar role in a manufacturing environment.

• Experience with ERP/MRP systems and execution tracking tools.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience using planning files, dashboards, or trackers to manage order and schedule visibility.
• Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Professional working proficiency in English.
